Badie, a senior running back, set a new school record for single-season rushing yards (1,604) in 2021. His final rushing touchdown of the regular season was his 14th and the 23rd of his career – good for ninth on Mizzou’s single season and career top-10 lists.

A 55-game career starter at center, Maietti anchors the offensive line that blocks for Badie, who leads the SEC in rushing attempts (268), yards (1,604), touchdowns (18) and yards per game (133.7). In 2021, 14 players scored a total of 39 touchdowns to bolster Mizzou’s offense.

Mevis, a sophomore kicker, hit a career-long 56-yard boot to send the game to overtime at Boston College. He is now 3-for-3 on the season and 6-for-7 in his career from beyond 50 yards. On the season, Mevis is 20-of-22 in field goals, including 11-of-13 from 40-49.

Mizzou football has accepted an invitation to play in the 2021 Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas. The Tigers will face Army West Point on Dec. 22 (7 p.m. kick, ESPN) at TCU’s Amon G. Carter Stadium.
